Aluminum Curtain Wall Manufacturer

APEX EcoBuilt is an aluminum curtain wall manufacturer and commercial curtain wall supplier, producing, fabricating, and shipping systems from one 150,000 m² factory. We do not resell profiles sourced from other fabricators.

With 20 years in aluminium curtain walling, APEX supplies concealed-frame, exposed-frame, unitized, and full-glass systems to project sites in more than 80 markets. See the curtain wall system catalog for frame-specific specifications.

Curtain Wall Systems We Manufacture


Frame type drives cost and sightline more than any other decision on a glazed aluminum curtain wall system. For the glazing itself, Single Glazed Glass for Facades & Interiors provides the base infill, while Vacuum Insulated Glass (VIG) Glazing Systems can be specified where thermal separation matters more than daylight cost.

  • Hidden Frame Curtain Wall System

    Mullions sit behind the glass for a flush elevation. Fabrication costs more than exposed framing, but visible caps are eliminated.

  • Subframe Hidden Frame Curtain Wall System

    A secondary subframe supports wider spans while keeping the main mullion slimmer than a fully upsized hidden-frame profile.

  • Exposed Frame Curtain Wall System

    Visible pressure plates and caps keep this field-glazed system cost-effective and straightforward to re-glaze after handover.

  • Semi-Hidden Frame Curtain Wall System

    A partial-reveal hybrid balances concealed sightlines with a lower cost than a fully hidden frame.

  • Full Glass / Point-Supported Curtain Wall

    Spider fittings or tie-rod connectors carry the glass with minimal visible framing. Daylight is maximized, but hardware and installation costs rise.

  • Unitized Curtain Wall System

    Factory-glazed and sealed panels are craned into place, reducing field labor on tall, repetitive facades despite higher per-panel fabrication cost.

Manufacturing & Engineering Capability

What separates a curtain wall manufacturer from a curtain wall reseller is control over the extrusion, the tooling, and the engineering before a single panel leaves the shop. Our 150,000 m² factory runs its own extrusion presses and 5-axis CNC machining, so mullion, transom, and connector profiles are cut and finished in-house rather than outsourced.

Before extrusion, our team runs BIM and FEA simulations to model wind load, thermal stress, and seismic movement against the specific building geometry — not a generic catalog profile. That's how custom mullion and transom sections get engineered for irregular curtain walls, faceted facades, and tall buildings where standard stock profiles don't hold up structurally.

Unitized vs. Stick-Built: Cost, Lead Time & Project Size

Unitized panels generally cost more per square meter than stick-built framing because glazing and sealing are completed in the factory. On tall buildings, this higher fabrication cost can be offset by lower on-site labor and faster crane-up. See the 2026 cost comparison for a detailed breakdown.

Lead time and minimum project size vary by frame type, glazing infill, and production schedule. Send your drawings through contact APEX EcoBuilt for a project-specific delivery timeline rather than a generic estimate.

Get In Touch

Request Curtain Wall Specifications & Pricing

Send your frame type, glazing method, and building height, and an RFQ from us returns three things: elevation-specific drawings, BIM files for your model, and pricing sized to your actual project — not a generic catalog rate. Turnaround depends on drawing complexity and current shop scheduling, so we confirm a specific date once we see your submittal rather than quoting a fixed number up front.

FAQS

FAQ

Who are the manufacturers of curtain walls?
Aluminum curtain wall systems come from a mix of direct factory manufacturers (who extrude and fabricate in-house) and distributors who resell fabricated profiles. APEX EcoBuilt falls into the first category, running its own extrusion and CNC machining rather than sourcing from a third-party fabricator.
What is the typical cost per square foot for an aluminum curtain wall?
Cost depends heavily on frame type (unitized costs more per panel but less to install), glazing method, and building height, so there's no single per-square-foot figure that applies across projects. [Contact APEX EcoBuilt](https://apexecobuilt.com/contact-us/) with your frame type and dimensions for a project-specific quote.
What is an aluminum curtain wall?
It's a non-structural exterior wall system that spans floor-to-floor, hung off the building's structural frame rather than carrying building loads itself. Glass panes are glazed into an aluminum mullion-and-transom grid, which is what distinguishes it from a load-bearing masonry or precast facade.
